Redditors Are Listing Cancelled Celebrities That They Genuinely Feel Bad For, And Here Are 20 Of Them

Cancel culture means removing support for a person, their career, fame, or popularity as a result of something they have said or done that is "generally" unacceptable. More often than not, individuals are "canceled" due to the fact that they are well-known people with an impact on a large audience.

What they have said or done is claimed to have hurt a specific individual, a group of individuals, or even a community. A considerable number of the people who have been canceled have faced this public backlash due to actions or comments following allegations of racism, misogyny, violence, homophobia, or transphobia.

When a celebrity is canceled, they are successfully boycotted, with the aim of shunning the individual so that they never again benefit, personally, monetarily, or professionally, from their elevated position. Some people view participating in "cancel culture" as the best method for holding famous public figures accountable, particularly when there seems to be no other effective, legitimate way.

By bringing their complaint to the public, the employers of the accused and others are forced to confront the circumstances and create a distance between themselves and the culprit. People have provided their honest responses to a question asked in the r/AskReddit community related to this cancel culture phenomenon.

Sit back and keep scrolling to read all that they had to say.
